How it works:
Atopica contains cyclosporine, which suppresses the immune system. It is used to treat skin-related conditions by targeting the immune cells involved in the allergic reaction.

What you should know:
It may take several weeks for maximum results to be achieved. For seasonal allergies, it may be recommended that you begin giving Atopica 1-2 months prior to the time that allergic reaction typically begins. The impact of cyclosporine on the immune response to modified live vaccines is unknown.

How to give this medication:
Atopica should be given at least one hour before or two hours after a meal. The initial daily dose of Atopica is 3.3-6.7 mg/kg/day given as a single daily dose for 30 days. Give this medication exactly as directed by your veterinarian. If you do not understand the directions, ask the veterinarian or pharmacist to explain them to you.

If you miss a dose:
If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and give the next one as directed. Do not double dose.

Atopica should not be used in:

My vet called the prescription in and I received this 2 days later from all the way across the country. I paid less than 1/2 what my vet charged! The "no substitution" box works wonderful! My dog needs to be on this med, not the generic equavalent. This is my second prescription that I have had filled with Valley Vet. I will definitely purchase from them again.

I looked on the internet and my dog's symptoms matched those for atopic dermatitis. I told my vet about it and he recommended Atopica. It shopped the hair loss, itching, and redness that our dog was experiencing. We use one capsule every other day.

Don't know how they feel that a capsule if the best way to treat a dog. I had a hard time getting my dad to take them. It was my fault because I did not look at the information carefully. Trusted that the rep would suggest and order the best product.

Improved platelet count in three weeksRated 4 out of 5 stars

Our dog has an immune disorder that is affecting his platelet count. (He has also been losing his hair.) His platelet count was pretty low when our vet specialist prescribed Atopica 3 weeks ago. I'm happy to report that his platelet count has returned to normal. The hair, not so much, but we hope that we'll begin to see improvement soon. He has another platelet count in a month, so I'm reserving final evaluation until we have the results of that. He showed few side effects. He had one episode of true diarrhea and seemed a bit lethargic for a bit, but other than softer than normal stool, nothing.

Hello comrades!
My name is "Natasha", and I am a Scottish Terrier, almost nine years old. My "butler" and "maid" (they call themselves, my owners, hmmmm!) have been giving me "Atopica" capsules for about one year now, which I make them do a lot of work to make sure it goes down my throat, and sometimes I win by hiding it in between my gums and jaw. They give me a treat after each dose, which I don't hide, as this is the only reason I let them get away with giving me these capsules, in the first place.
However, I must admit, all those sores I use to have all over my body, have disappeared and I no longer itch myself due to the horrid itching that I use to have from these sores for several years.
THANK YOU Atopica, but I wish there was a much simpler method of getting this stuff into my system.
Natasha

Our cat, Melody, has been pulling our her long beautiful coat, due to an allergy to either food or environment--we are working on figuring this out. The Atopica, prescribed by both our Vet and our Veterinary Dermatologist, has been making a difference.

Very effective, but high cost & some side effectsRated 4 out of 5 stars

Atopica has been extremely effective at managing my Labrador's skin allergy symptoms. As the product information indicates, there are a few side effects such loose stool and occasional vomiting. But after a few months, we were able to reduce the dosage, which also minimizes the side effects. The main drawback is the high cost. But after much research, I found that Valley Vet has the lowest price.
